She began karate at Athletic Club Ajaccien Arts Martiaux in France. (francekarate2020.fr, 01 Jan 2021)

Her parents founded a martial arts club in Ajaccio, France, so she took up the sport at a young age. "I wasn't the one who chose to focus on kata. I had been spotted in kata and in kumite but I learned later that the kata coach had said to the kumite coach, 'Leave her to me, I think she can go far in kata'. I'm glad they made this choice for me because I would have had a hard time choosing which discipline to pursue." (olympics.com, 12 Jun 2021)

She splits her training between Paris, France, where she trains with coach Ayoub Neghliz, and Ajaccio, France. She has equipped her attic in Ajaccio with a tatami and a television for video analysis. "It's my balance. Even if the back and forth is tiring, I'm used to it now and it allows me to train as well with my coach as with my parents and my little sister." (olympics.com, 12 Jun 2021)
